Day of Social Worker of Ukraine (06/11)





This professional holiday is evidence of the state’s high assessment of the role of workers who daily ensure the implementation of state policy on issues of social protection, employment, organization of wages and labor safety, and labor relations.

The social worker has to deal with different areas of human and social life: physical and mental health, personal and group conflicts, family planning, problems of employment, professional and social adaptation of different categories of the population, prevention of antisocial behavior, administration of justice and many others.

In the modern conditions of development of Ukraine, the problem of legal protection of every citizen, justification of the legal expediency of his everyday behavior, professional, political and other types of activities is becoming acute.

Social work — is the art of making connections between people. Social Worker's Day — is a professional holiday, which rightfully belongs to those who discover mercy, creates good not only out of official duty, but also at the behest of conscience and the call of the soul. For many of them, the words of Ivan Franko: «Human life has value as long as a person can help others» — have become the meaning of life.
